One of the rumors that had gained traction in the years following Kim’s death was the existence of a supposed memoir she had written, which claimed to offer insights into her relationship with Diddy.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” they asserted.

They expressed their dismay over how their mother’s legacy was being exploited, with people capitalizing on their tragedy by spreading false information. In their statement, Kim’s children also made it clear that the cause of her death had already been determined—there was no foul play involved.
“Grief is a lifelong process,” wrote the siblings, “and we ask that everyone respect our request for peace as we continue to cope with her loss every day.”
“Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories,” they stated, making a clear call for her legacy to remain untarnished by sensationalism.
